Overview

Tap into the powerful techniques of professional actors and great communicators

The Pin Drop Principle is a step-by-step master class for anyone wishing to become a more confident and credible communicator. Lewis and Mills believe all business professionals ought to deliver their message in such an engaging way that one could literally hear a pin drop when they speak. The secret to doing so comes from an unusual world: professional acting.

Free sample a joke

The free sample, something I try to use to determine if I want to spend valuable resources on a book was a complete waste this time. The "free sample" consisted of the first 8 pages of the title page ( as if I didnt already know the name of the book) and a few table of content pages with absolutely NOTHING of value to help me determine if I actually want to spend my money on this book.I got NOTHING of value so I am giving the writters NOTHING of value. I will not be buying this book.You need to learn to treat your customers (or potential customers) with respect.Lif there was a way I would rate this ZERO stars but I was not given that option.
